14、解析：1、根据主干大法，本题的线索主词是she、titles和they、combinations，显然这里they只能是指代her musical compositions （看作titles的同义重复），也就是说句子的转折围绕titles展开。转折前对于titles的评价由第一空决定，转折后titles（they）的评价由unusual combinations决定（这取决于第二空的动词是正评价还是负评价），如果第二空是正评价词，表明titles与unusual combinations一致，那么转折前就应该相反，所以第一空填unusual combinations的反义表达；如果第二空是负
15、评价词，表明titles与unusual combinations相反，所以第一空填unusual combinations的同义表达。第一空只有CE是清楚的unusual combinations反义表达，候选。第二空选项单词正负评价正好相反（这是ETS惯用思路，2空题先变成2选1，再取舍就容易多了），根据前面分析只能选正评价的词汇，所以答案是E。参考译文：尽管她糟糕地给她的音乐作品赋以寻常的（传统的）题目，但是这些作品却体现出对一些材料的不寻常整合，比如罗马教的圣歌、亚洲的音阶风格节奏、古怪的声响和鸟鸣。2、太简单了！显然空格后面的them指代前面的his versions，由so 。 that结构知道是同义重复，所以that前是his versions与French一致，那么后面也必然是这样，空格前出现负评价词never，所以空格处必须填负评价词。只有唯一的A是负评价词。参考译文：尽管Partout搜集的民间故事并不仅仅来源于法国，但是那时他的描述却是法国风格以至于后来的法国民间故事集
